looking through them some more i wish there was some kinda commentary somewhere for how their designing process went bc im extremely curious why they were so settled on atleast the leader having demon/devil horns in her hat, but ended up w none of them having them in the final ones (n also curious how their set personalities went since they change back n forth whether flamberge or zan would be the trios leader, would they have each others personalities to some degree or?)

jokes aside its a little funny in a sad way the mage sisters have dozens of betas (some even uncolored from early scrapping) (i counted 19 from all the art book scans i could find) n yet after all that the final ones we ended up w r often (imo fairly) criticized for being a bit too boring

#i do get why a lot were scrapped off (some r too busy for kirbys usual designing aesthetic n would look out of place #theres quite a few that were trying to work w a more humanesque woman shape that look extremely clunky n awkward #n some do just feel a little too over the top even if not exactly busy)#but i rly dont get why not let them keep the silly horns.even the beta closest to the final ones let zan keep them in her hat #n they were like little sheep horns which fits so well hyness ends up using them as sacrifices.yk sacrificial lambs!!!#sorry im analyzing these harder than i analyzed some crucial things for school #uh.my best teachers would be proud...?#also i think its funny while berge n zan were constantly changing between who would lead poor francisca was always the not leader one #probably bc in their first concept she was already pitched as the first one so she was inherently seen as the weakest one youd meet #i cant write my more serious jamba cult thoughts or god forbid my hcs without going through the paranoia horrors #but i refuse to be scared of designing analysis i grew up on barbie fashion fairytale i was BUILT to analyse designs!!!#so yes my conclusion is final plays it too safe but the betas r actually understandable to a degree on being rejected #i actually have little redesigns for them which r mostly the final ones w borrowed elements from my favorite betas #in other words ZAN W THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB HAT IS BACK BBY #SA! CRI! FICE! THAT! GIRL!!!
